The property
Conwy 4.6 miles.
Nestled in the idyllic setting of Rowen near Conwy, North Wales, is this grand five-bedroom, detached house, Y Gorlan.
Formerly the 19th-century village vicarage, Y Gorlan has been extensively refurbished with a large extension added in 2023, to perfectly combine contemporary and traditional elements, as well as enjoying a fantastic location within the Snowdonia National Park, just moments away from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Conwy, making it a superb family-friendly dwelling for a group or family of 10.
The property has previously been awarded five stars by Visit Wales and Visit Wales Cyclists and Walkers Welcome Award. Electric sockets with USB charging points throughout.

Be welcomed into the tastefully decorated sitting room, where you can sink back into the reclining sofas in front of the Sky TV with access to movies, Sky signature and Sports, as the wood burning stove crackles nearby, or retire to the additional large family sitting room, with SKY glass TV and where you will find further plush seating and amazing views of The Carneddau mountain range behind Rowen.

The chef of the group will have found their haven in the beautiful and fully equipped kitchen, by French designer, Mobalpa, where they will have all they need to create culinary delights, ready to serve at the large solid oak dining table with seating for 10.
On warmer days, why not head out to the enclosed gardens where you can fire up the barbecue for alfresco dining and play lawn games with the little ones.

Completing the ground floor is the first bedroom, with queen size bed, hairdryer, fan, bedside reading lights and en-suite bathroom. There is also access to a cloakroom.

Continue upstairs to find the remaining four-bedrooms, two king-size and two double size, each with their own ensuite shower room, hairdryers, and fans.

Adjacent to your new home from home is the welcoming Ty Gwyn, where you can treat your loved ones to a well-deserved meal and sample the local ales.

For further local amenities and attractions, take the short drive over to Conwy, where you will find the magnificent Conwy Castle, The Smallest House In Great Britain, Plas Mawr, the historic town walls and the popular Mulberry which serves fresh seafood and overlooks the River Conwy.
Y Gorlan’s exceptional location means there is an abundance of activity right on your doorstep, from numerous circular walks, scenic cycling trails, Bodnant Gardens, outdoor sports at Adventure Parc Snowdonia, and even the famous Snowdon Peak and renowned Zip World Llechwedd if you venture further.

Be sure to visit Llandudno, where you can embark up the Great Orme for breath-taking views, see the grey seals at Angel Bay, catch a live performance at Venue Cymru, or spend the day at one of two gorgeous beaches.

Add a touch of opulence to your North Wales getaway with a stay at Y Gorlan.

Y Gorlan is only a 10 minute drive from historic Conwy and its castle. This beautifully preserved walled town is visited from far and wide and has a wide selection of shops, pubs and eateries. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from including an Italian restaurant, a Bistro, a tapas bar and an Indian restaurant. Do visit Edwards of Conwy, the best butchers in North Wales and winner of national awards.

You can also take a stroll along the waterfront and enjoy a drink in the Liverpool Arms! Close by there are the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno and the fantastic Bodnant gardens. For fans of I'm a celebrity Gwrych Castle and gardens Abergele are 16 miles away. There are beaches nearby at Morfa Conwy and Deganwy.

In addition there are an enormous variety of circular walks and cycle routes directly from your doorstep in Rowen.

Take a leisurely drive around the Isle of Anglesey (the golden circle) and the Llŷn Peninsula which are only just over an hour away. Pony trekking or horse riding in Snowdonia Mountain range is also available south of Betws-y-Coed 40 mins away. For those who like fishing or golf there is an abundance of choice. Conwy castle is a must visit for the spectacular views over Conwy and the estuary from the turrets. Caernarvon castle is 40 minutes along the coast.

There is also the scenic Conwy Valley railway line running down the estuary from Llandudno Junction as far as Blaenau Ffestiniog. This connects to the Ffestiniog Railway running to Portmadog which connects to the Welsh Highland Railway running to Caernarvon. Using buses a round trip is available. For the adventurous there is also the Snowdon mountain railway running from Llanberis to the top of Mount Snowdon. Recent local additions for the thrill seekers include tree top rope courses, zip wires and underground cave trampolining at Zip world.

Maternal Cousins Weekend & German Visit June 2022
The owners/managers were great, fast to respond to queries and provided, at no extra cost, clean linen/towels for the change of two beds when our two cousins left to be replaced by four friends from Germany mid way through the stay. The cottage was pretty much as described and well equipped but some of the first floor bedrooms are a rather tight for space for luggage and or clothes for a week's stay. If we had had the maximum of 10 in the property it would not really have been big enough. The location was great in a pretty village with a part time pub next door. It is on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park and close to Conwy & Anglesey with lots to see and do in the area.
